Its mission is to represent both SPASA members and the broader swimming pool and spa industry to the general public, government and relevant statutory bodies. The association strives to enhance its profile as a means of promoting the significant health and social value of pool and spa use.

Our core goals are to ensure the viability of our members’ businesses and to promote the highest levels of professionalism, ethical behaviour and standards within the industry.

Both pool and spa owners’, and members’ interests, are represented on many technical and government committees, including Standards Australia, the Victorian Swimming Pool & Spa Safety Committee, CPSISC and the Victorian Building Authority.

Among many others, we liaise closely with the Planning & Water Ministers’ Offices, the VBA, DSE, Lifesaving Victoria, Water Authorities, Builder Warranty & Liability insurers, WorkSafe, Kidsafe, ACCC and the Department of Consumer Affairs – all of which shape legislation and establish standards of workplace practices, safety, energy and water use.

To maintain the highest standards SPASA conducts Industry Training Programs, Trade Events and publish member OHS training and resource materials. SPASA also promotes the important consumer-focused Water Neutral Pool program.

The association promotes pool and spa use to consumers in several ways each year, this includes: two major consumer events, publications and the Awards of Excellence program.
